In surface related technologies…

Welcome to Seattle and the 5th International Surface Engineering Congress and Exhibition (ISEC)

The organizers of ISEC 2006 welcome you to Seattle, Washington where for the first time, ISEC is co-located with two other world class events…the International Thermal Spray Conference & Exposition (ITSC) and the 17th Advanced Materials and Processes Conference & Exposition (AeroMat). Your ISEC registration allows you to attend all three conferences and combined exposition.

The International Surface Engineering Congress is a phenomenal meeting of international scope that examines fundamental research theories as they are applied to the widespread industrial use of surface engineering techniques. This is North America’s only surface engineering event that truly focuses on practical engineering, and the science of surface treatments and coatings.

ISEC 2006 features 8 focused symposia covering 23 technical sessions on practical engineering and the science of surface treatments and coatings. Our comprehensive coverage of surface engineering includes industrial processes, tribology, failure analysis, corrosion, bio/dental applications and micro/nano-scale technologies. Joint sessions will be held in conjunction with the AeroMat conference, as well as the International Thermal Spray conference.
